15Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him.G1161G2258G1448G846G3956G5057G2532G268G191G846 2And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, "This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them."G2532G5330G2532G1122G1234G3004G3754G3778G4327G268G2532G4906G846 3So he told them this parable:G1161G2036G5026G3850G4314G846G3004 4"Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it?G5101G444G1537G5216G2192G1540G4263G2532G622G1520G1537G846G2641G3756G2641G1768G1722G2048G2532G4198G1909G622G2193G2147G846 5When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices.G2532G2147G2007G1909G1438G5606G5463 6And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.'G2532G2064G1519G3624G4779G5384G2532G1069G3004G846G4796G3427G3754G2147G3450G4263G3588G622 7Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.G3004G5213G3754G3779G5479G2071G1722G3772G1909G1520G268G3340G2228G1909G1768G1342G3748G2192G5532G3756G3341 8"Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?G2228G5101G1135G2192G1176G1406G1437G622G3391G1406G3780G681G3088G2532G4563G3614G2532G2212G1960G2193G3755G2147 9When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.'G2532G2147G4779G5384G2532G1069G4779G3004G4796G3427G3754G2147G1406G3739G622 10Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."G3779G3004G5213G1096G5479G1799G32G2316G1909G1520G268G3340 11Then Jesus said, "There was a man who had two sons.G1161G2036G5100G444G2192G1417G5207 12The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of the property that will belong to me.' So he divided his property between them.G2532G3501G846G2036G3962G3962G1325G3427G3313G3776G1911G2532G1244G846G979 13A few days later the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country, and there he squandered his property in dissolute living.G2532G3756G4183G2250G3326G3501G5207G4863G537G4863G589G1519G3117G5561G2532G1563G1287G846G3776G811G2198 14When he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need.G1161G846G1159G3956G1096G2478G3042G2596G1565G5561G2532G846G756G5302 15So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed the pigs.G2532G4198G2853G1520G4177G1565G5561G2532G3992G846G1519G846G68G1006G5519 16He would gladly have filled himself with the pods that the pigs were eating; and no one gave him anything.G2532G1937G1072G846G2836G575G2769G3739G5519G2068G2532G3762G1325G846 17But when he came to himself he said, 'How many of my father's hired hands have bread enough and to spare, but here I am dying of hunger!G1161G2064G1519G1438G2036G4214G3407G3450G3962G740G4052G1161G1473G622G3042 18I will get up and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you;G450G4198G4314G3450G3962G2532G2046G846G3962G264G1519G3772G2532G1799G4675 19I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired hands."'G2532G1510G3765G514G2564G4675G5207G4160G3165G5613G1520G4675G3407 20So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him.G2532G450G2064G4314G1438G3962G1161G846G2089G3112G568G846G3962G1492G846G2532G4697G2532G5143G1968G1909G846G5137G2532G2705G846 21Then the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'G1161G5207G2036G846G3962G264G1519G3772G2532G1799G4675G1799G2532G1510G3765G514G2564G4675G5207 22But the father said to his slaves, 'Quickly, bring out a robe—the best one—and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.G1161G3962G2036G4314G846G1401G1627G4413G4749G2532G1746G846G2532G1325G1146G1519G846G5495G2532G5266G1519G4228 23And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate;G2532G5342G4618G3448G2380G2532G5315G2165 24for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!' And they began to celebrate.G3754G3778G3450G5207G2258G3498G2532G326G2532G2258G622G2532G2147G2532G756G2165 25"Now his elder son was in the field; and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.G1161G846G4245G5207G2258G1722G68G2532G5613G2064G1448G3614G191G4858G2532G5525 26He called one of the slaves and asked what was going on.G2532G4341G1520G3816G4441G5101G5023G1498 27He replied, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has got him back safe and sound.'G1161G2036G846G3754G4675G80G2240G2532G4675G3962G2380G4618G3448G3754G618G846G5198 28Then he became angry and refused to go in. His father came out and began to plead with him.G1161G3710G2532G2309G3756G1525G3767G1831G846G3962G1831G3870G846 29But he answered his father, 'Listen! For all these years I have been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command; yet you have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends.G1161G611G2036G3962G2400G5118G2094G1398G4671G3763G3928G3763G4675G1785G2532G2532G1325G3763G1325G1698G2056G2443G2165G3326G3450G5384 30But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him!'G1161G3753G3778G4675G5207G2064G3588G2719G4675G979G3326G4204G2380G846G4618G3448 31Then the father said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.G1161G2036G846G5043G4771G1488G3842G3326G1700G2532G3956G1699G2076G4674 32But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life; he was lost and has been found.'"G1161G1163G2165G2532G5463G3754G3778G4675G80G2258G3498G2532G326G2532G2258G622G2532G2147
